Poohs Packin posted:The Lateralus review is loving hilarious especially if youve spent enough time around TOOL fans to know how much it would piss them off. It's definitely funny but the album is like actually a 9.0 but I mean pitchfork always let the fans of a group get in the way of their enjoyment of the music, that's kind of their thing I guess

Lil Swamp Booger Baby posted:I mean, if u get paid to give honest reviews of what you think of an album, and you do it, isn't that better than just doing dishonest reviews that just exist for the validation of your readers? This point never made sense. Like when Ebert didn't like movies and people would get mad at him over it, like was he supposed to lie? Lol Yeah except then they started doing their "actually this album is a secret masterpiece" re-reviews and that's when I stopped reading the site.

Bad Purchase posted:yep I'm pretty sure they famously gave MBDTF a 10. Also, that Andrew W.K. album probably deserved better, but after I was like "yeah, he likes parties alright!" I'm not sure if it warranted repeat headphones listens. Also, the score for the Tool album should have been Pi to 15 places. A deservedly low score, but also funny.

They did this for so many reviews for what became genre 'classics' when labels started doing like 10 year re-issues... Edit:: Now we are on like the 25 year reissues so i'm sure its much worse. xsuperkidx fucked around with this message at 18:11 on Jan 22, 2024 |

Also that album is good if you need songs that go PARTY PARTY PARTY PARTY PARTY PARTY PARTY PARTY that have good vibes, it's not like a loving all-time classic album that's gonna move you to your soul it will make you party, it did exactly what it said it was going to do if you read the tracklist edit: https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/3864-blessed-black-wings/ eh I'd probably go a point higher and also Pike's vocal chord was blown and Albini kinda mixed the record around that, Des said Steve is really good at mixing drums too, which is impressive since Big Black didn't have drums; but at least they just digged Albini by wondering why he produced the album.

Remission is a very different band than the one that made Leviathan or Blood Mountain, even March of the Fire Ants and Crusher Destroyer kick rear end Crack the Skye is a really cohesive, beautiful album with a really nice keyboard track Blood Mountain is less cohesive but also has Sleeping Giant, Hunters of the Sky and Pendulous Skin they're both 9-9.5 for sure MrQwerty fucked around with this message at 20:14 on Jan 22, 2024 |

Especially if the album is opening with a wild drum solo. MrQwerty fucked around with this message at 20:27 on Jan 22, 2024 |

But you can't forget about Colony of Birchmen from BM and Divination off Skye for songs with kick rear end intros that end too soon. gently caress I think they do that poo poo in more songs too. The Last Baron is my favorite song from them. gently caress gonna listen to Crack the Skye now.

Hell yeah again to this all. Also The Hunter needs to be praised for curl of the burl? I think that's the song for the lyrical intro of "I killed a man cause he killed my goat, I wrapped my hands around his throat."

speaking of Om, https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/6115-variations-on-a-theme/ 7.8 - I'd give it an 8.5-9, On The Mountain at Dawn is such a killer song https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/9095-conference-of-the-birds/ 7.3 - eh I'd give it a 7.5-7.8, At Giza is really good but it also carries a lot of the album https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/10696-pilgrimage/ 7.4 - Solid 8, Unitive Knowledge of the Godhead has one of my all-time favorite drum fill intros https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/13465-god-is-good/ 6.0 - at least an 8, review is extremely whiny https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/16868-advaitic-songs/ 5.2 - lol see above

The music is unmistakably theirs, but the intensity of it feels lost in the arrangements. Listening to it, I worry that at any point I may be visited by southeast Asian violins. Diversity, it turns out, can be a diluting agent. this is what they are whining about : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKqoNrZ00Bg MrQwerty fucked around with this message at 21:40 on Jan 22, 2024 |
